I'm currently scouring the city looking for post offices which
actually have IRCs; they're pretty scarce.

I know what you mean. I've had post office employees tell me there was no
such thing as an IRC. :-)

I've uploaded all my contacts for all my calls going all the way back
to about 1963; 3200 contacts (I was surprised at how few there were,
but I go inactive for years at a time) and only 31 QSLs.

I did the same thing a couple of years ago; took the time to create an
ADIF export routine for my homebrewed log, uploaded them all, 190
countries, about 175 of them verified on paper--and got a total of 31
countries verified via LotW the last time I looked. :-)

Who are you working these days?

Practially nobody :-)
Waiting for the sunspots to come back ...

I hope they're on the way. I've been inactive for 2 years but wound up
dragging out a radio, antenna tuner, and my PSK/RTTY interface--looking
forward to giving it a try again! :-)
